Is Walmart Overcharging You? Viral Video Suggests Major Weight Scandal In Its Meat Department

To prove his point, Wrigg took the packaged hams to the produce section to use the scale. He first tests the scale's accuracy by weighing a 2-pound athletic weight, and notes that the scale is off by .02 pounds. He weighs several hams, which are priced by the pound, and it's shocking how incorrect the labeling is — especially considering that Walmart, which is definitely not one of the most expensive grocers in America, is marketed toward budget-conscious consumers. One of the hams Wrigg weighed is labeled as being 4.93 pounds, but it was actually 1.83 pounds, making its cost (at $4.98 per pound) $15.44 more than what it should be.

Walmart expands abortion coverage for staff after Roe overturned - The Washington Post

Arkansas-headquartered Walmart, which has 1.6 million employees in the United States, said it would cover abortions "when there is a health risk to the mother, rape or incest."

The company will provide "travel support" for employees and dependents if they require access to a health service covered by Walmart's insurance plan but there is no viable provider within 100 miles of their location...

About 7.4 million people in the U.S. require manufactured insulin to stay alive. I’m one of them. I’ve lived with Type 1 diabetes for over 15 years and inject two kinds of insulin every day.
